"People who buy used games don't want to pay the new price, and they won't" They will once physical disks are abolished for digital stores. They have been pushing this for years and PC gaming is already there. No more us

Your average airport has thousands of employees. Airports are thoroughly infiltrated by criminal gangs smuggling drugs. They don't do full background checks on everyone who works there let alone psychological tests.

I wonder how much Google regrets not being a walled garden like iOS.

Not the job of a browser. But neither was DRM and an integrated search engine and yet here we are... There is a nice fork of FF for android that removes the Mozilla if anyone is interested https://f-droid.org/en/packag

Find a commercial website that doesn't use google-analytics.com or googletagservices.com its pretty hard.

Agreed, sometimes you just NEED to use a shitty site. I have my main browser specially configured ad free and privacy secure but I always have a backup browser. The people who build websites aren't thinking about us.

Because swimming is no longer publicly funded and mandatory at schools. Which leaves it at the discretion of parents. Is it racist to point out that asylum seekers and migrant children are over represented in drowning? Swimming is something

Google maps stalking is indeed bad and I hate it but you can easily disable it by not running Maps in the background. Honestly Android allows me to tune out of the internet business model a lot easier than iOS. Just dive into permissions an

Americans have already lost faith in government. There is a belief Bezos will save healthcare now. It seems Capitol Hill's main occupation is sabotaging and crippling the nation.

Things got pretty bad during the Vietnam war. There is a reason why the draft was abolished.

Immigration doesn't help. Swimming isn't really something people do in Iraq or Afghanistan. And boys and girls can't swim in mixed groups. Every summer is now filled with news of kids drowning- we are back were we started a h

Well lets put it this way: thanks to the government I have a bathroom and kitchen. Slumlords don't need to get re-elected.

I guess HK has no social housing? The free market has no ethics or compassion so the government has to make rules.

To be fair Japanese-US military cooperation has served both sides well. If the US continues to decline Japan will have to find a way to get along with China.

Demographics were very different back then. Nowadays we have one person households. Also nowadays nobody peels potatoes anymore. I honestly wouldn't know how.

I am happy for everyone who is enjoying Linux but can we give windows the credit it is due? If anyone ever makes an OS that has the game and driver support Windows has I will jump ship in a heartbeat. Case in point ccleaner: there are many

Considering phones now have pretty capable CPUs and 6Gb RAM turning a phone into a mini laptop is becoming quite viable.

One of the best things about Android is how easy it is to not make Google money. From ad blockers and alternative app stores to downright piracy. If Google could do it all over again they would emulate iOS with their walled garden. I am sur

I will use Google services while blocking ads. That way I am actually costing them money.

TPB is on TOR, just use that. http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/ I think it was.

The solution is to block all ads until site owners start to take responsibility. As a user I couldn't care less about the hardships of the site owner.

The UK was so broke in the 1970s they could barely keep their military budget up, most importantly an independent nuclear deterrent. Superpower status was a thing of the past. With Brexit coming up its insightful to read up on post WW2 Brit

Amazon isn't all that special. The rest of corporate America just fucked up. Fast delivery and low overhead is frankly something any webshop could have delivered but the dinosaurs were set in their ways.

Actually you don't need root. DNS66 blocks ads in aps. Its a huge irony that Android allows you to block advertising more than the Apple ecosystem. In fact developers adore iOS because its an OS used by paypigs.

Yeah its amazing how all over Europe after 70 years they still regularly find bombs. The Wehrmacht also laid millions of mines but thanks to German obsession with administration those were all removed in a few years (with the "assistan

Its amazing what war can do to equal rights. Britain had the planes but it was short on pilots- the battle of Britain was a war of attrition.

In my country banks can't refuse clients for a standard checking account. Besides how in gods name can someone even function in an advanced economy without a bank account? People have been paying with plastic since the late 80s. Its fr

Can relate. I have an Android phone and I will never pay for an app. There are usually free alternatives for everything on F-droid. And I'm tech savvy enough to pirate when it is needed and I run an adblocker.
